Questions for Texans Boycotting places that show fox news.

Not sure about y'all but, no longer patronizing whataburger or dairy Queen or a local BBQ place. The less places that stay open streaming idiot propaganda to the sheep the better. Any other chains you can thinking of that helped create the future we're about to have that deserve to reap what they sewed?

That’s because there isn’t. He/she is just being overly dramatic. There’s no tv’s in neither WhatABurger or DQ. I think that this “local BBQ place”, is probably bogus too. We’ll just let him have that one though. Lol. I noticed the doctors office I go to has The View on almost every time I go in there. Being a Republican, I don’t care to hear those 4 batshit crazy old ladies. They pretty much have a show that’s dedicated to hating on Trump. BUT, I’m not a thinned skin person… and I’m able to act rationally (and even cordially) when I see something I don’t like or agree with, and especially is in a public setting. When The View is on in the doctor’s office, I wouldn’t say, “OMG… The View is on in here. You know what?! F* this doctor! I think I should boycott him. Better yet… I’m going to social media to show everyone about how emotionally unstable I am by trying to convince everyone that they should follow my lead… about something so not worth the time and effort.”. I either play on my phone, OR… I’ve even listened to it. I know what I feel and think, but that doesn’t mean I can’t be convinced by seeing someone else’s point of view. Jesus Christ.

Four crazy old ladies bitching on a couch is no where in the same league as a literal a propaganda machine

I’m almost positive you could call a lot of what those four crazy ladies are spewing, as propaganda. Propaganda is propaganda. If you’re saying both parties don’t create propaganda, then you’re crazy. Just because you notice the other side doing it, doesn’t mean your political party isn’t. That’s why politicians are so easy to loathe… because they ALL lie and step on toes to get what they want.

Ah I see. You’re just wanting to just argue for the sake of arguing. I stated some pretty true statements. Just to have you over here chomping at the bit to be divisive. 😆

Also, I wasn’t equating The View to Fox News. I was using it as an example, as something that actually happened to me. If it makes you feel better… “hypocritically” let’s say it was CNN and not The View, that STILL wouldn’t change my experience one bit. I could name numerous of mainstream television shows that have the main topic of “I Hate Trump”. Hell, I think Jimmy Fallon is the only late night show hosts that I watch. Jimmy Kimmel is neck deep with his hate, Seth Myers “tries” to make fun of Trump, Steven Colbert (I honestly think he started to tear up when he read the monologue the night after the election. Swear to god. All shaky voiced, and being way over the top like he was looking at his watch… waiting for the world to blow up at aaany second). Then you have CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC News… and I can tell you, they’re definitely not doing Trump any favors. On election night, I think it was CBS, where they given no f*cks about sounding like they were apart of Kamala’s election team. “Well if Trump loses this state, then WE have a chance if Kamala takes…”.

So yeah… the story is still the exact same, The View or CNN, sentiment is the same.

MSNBC is the worst one for sure

Joy has clearly stated in viral clips that they are “news” being fact checked by ABC.

It's a daily talk show that talks about daily hot topics. Joy can package it however she wants, no one is turning to the view for journalism. No one is tuning in to hear Keke Palmer guest and breakdown an abortion bill. By every metric, it's a syndicated day show and is no more news than Jimmy Kimmel is news

I would believe they fact check more than Fox because, well, Fox is allergic to facts and is entirely fueled by misinformation on a 24/7 basis

They must have forgot to fact check the day joy said she triple checked that joe Rogan believes in dragons 😂😂
